Lol. Jesse only ever had the one side at a time. I'd offer the second, but he just wouldn't wake for it, so I didn't push it.
I think with putting your hand at the back of her neck, instead of her head, the head can go back on the right angle for better attachment. When I think about the times I've done it, I think its worked out better that way.
It all sounds so confusing now, lol. See if it works though.
Sounds like you've had a much better day so far anyway
I just fed her for about 40 mins on the other side, and realised my hand is sorta at the back of her neck - not like, on the top of her head or anything... LOL.. its hard visualising it
Yeah, that's right Mel, hand at the back of her neck. I sorta had my index finger and thumb behind each ear iykwim. Just make sure you're not stopping her head from being able to tilt back so she can attach properly and her nose is clear.
You're doing well!! Sounds like she's having some good feeds!!
Perhaps she just needs to feel comfy before she'll feed.
Sounds like you're doing really well! Hope she learns to switch from lots of day sleeping to night sleeping
Urgh these cluster feeds are pretty awful ay.. LOL
She was on me from basically 5.30 to 9.30 - with only 10 minute breaks in between 40 minute feeds.
I was worried though because she had barely peed all day - understandable when she was asleep for most of it - but she certainly makes up for it when she wakes up - she just feeds and feeds and feeds and feeds!!! Is it ok to do that or should I be waking her up for more regular feeds? I'm hesitant to wake her up because she just won't suck if she's tired.
